Buying soon. As you may have seen, there is a lack of TM m4 mws gbbr's for sale at UK retailers. Does anyone have any experience of buying from Patrolbase? https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/tokyo-marui-m4a1-mws-zet-gas-blowback-rifle Also, can anyone think of anything I should be asking Patrolbase before purchase? Is there anything (particular version for example) that I should looking out for? Any pitfalls so to speak? Many thanks

Right. I've rechecked everything, change back to the tight bore, put some Abbeys Silcone Oil here and there. Just got a 295 fps dropping to about 288 after a few shots. Not 100% what it was. A bit happier at that. Thanks for the input. I always use ASG Devil Blaster BB 0.25g, maybe I should experiment. I'll look into the PDI 6.01. many thanks

Super tight?? was wondering about this but the bb doesn't look restricted freely falls through. I have always used .025g bb. I don't have access to a range beyond 30m but, range isn't a necessarily a problem, it's the fact that the 6.0mm inner barrel didn't have any effect.

I'm using for aipsc and general target practice. Max distance 30m. I really just expected the fps to increase as all the tutorials indicate. BTW. I saw a video in which standard TM 5.1 hit targets at 50m, pretty impressive, I don't need shoot that kind of distance. Take a look. Apologies. I only spoke of the Gold Match to compare the two. I'm mainly talking (rambling on) about the standard type 5.1 hi capa.. I will run some further checks as you suggest. Many thanks

Hi All Just got a chrono and thought I'd check out my TM 5.1 Hi Capa and my Gold Match. The Gold Match (AM Limcat slide and 140% recoil spring are the only upgrades) was at about 285 -289 fps. The normal 5.1 Hi Capa (nine ball 6.00mm/112.5mm tight bore inner barrel,Maple Leaf DIAMOND / MONSTER Hop Bucking 60deg, metal outer barrel, AM Aqua slide, Standard recoil spring, cowcow piston seal) was at about 260fps. Not happy with the above I went back to stock inner barrel and bucking with little improvement, Then I swapped the standard bucking for the maple leaf which up'd the fps to 270, Then I swapped the standard inner barrel for the nine ball one, and I get a decrease in fps to about 265. I'm puzzled by the decrease..... I wanted to push towards 300fps. Any ideas anyone??

Hi All I'm looking for new hammer in black, this is purely a cosmetic thing. I was looking at Gunsmith Bro hammer but saw this set in eBay. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fp%2F748138925 Never used this brand before. I've got a feeling that I should steer clear Anyone got any experience (or opinion)of the Kung Fu parts. Many thanks in advance.

Thanks all for the reply. I'm definitely interested in running something like the TM HK45 or FNX for standard division AIPSC but, I am concerned about how robust they are. I do a fair bit of dry fire as well as actually shooting every other day, I probably go through about 500 - 700 bbs a week. Of course I'm trying to fire as fast a possible at lot of the time. For pistols like the TM HK45 or FNX what kind of issues, common breaks either due wear and tear or by the use of green gas have you experienced?.

Hi All As stated really. Is there an alternative pistol that matched the quality and suitability of the TM 5.1 Hi Capa for action air/ ipsc?

Cheers for the response Dave. I took your advice for going back to stock. New maple leaf bucking went as the nozzle was sticking a little( a bigger problem than I realised me thinks), new 150% recoil spring gone, upgraded 140% nozzle spring gone, upgraded Cowcow o ring/piston gone, the only things left not standard are a nine ball tightbore inner barrel and the metal slide. Worrking again. Im using ultra air currently. Many thanks again.

Back again BBU issues afoot. About a week or so ago I had various fixed by a Cowow enhanced pistol head. Now, it seems I have similar problems in the same area. They are as follows. When shooting excess gas is firing out of the back, the slide doesn't always travel fully forward and sometimes the nozzle gets really stuck on the piston. When I put part (which takes some force) the nozzle breaks. I am training with this pistol everyday so it's getting some use. I'm considering some BBU and nozzle upgrade. Any ideas, any help greatly appreciated

I have managed to fix it. Going with the theory that the new slide was too tight or was catching on the lower, I went to work with the file from my leatherman tool which fitted perfectly between the groves at the rear of the slide, I also lightly filed the areas of obvious wear on the lower. Now my slide is working perfectly on the standard recoil spring. After a few thousand rounds I'll try the upgrade recoil spring again but no rush. Thanks all for the help

I did this today. No difference. I can only guess that the new slide and the lower are not a good enough fit and it's snagging somewhere. Something that might be relevant, I did notice that on occasion the slide did lock back but not on the usual catch, on the pin release notch just before it.

The slide is quite heavy and the fit is a but closer than my other Airsoft Masterpiece ones. I've tried with an AIP 140% recoil spring which makes the problem worse so I'm back with the stock one. I'm using Ultra Air green gas. I've also upgraded to a AIP 140 % nozzle spring and a CCT enhanced piston head if that makes any difference, going back to stock doesn't change things though.

As above really. New airsoft masterpiece aluminium Limcat Battlecat slide for a TM 5.1 Hi Capa Gold Match, the pistol is shooting but the slide is not travelling fully to the rear and therefore will not lock back when the mag is empty, if I rack it to the rear by hand with a mag in it will lock back. Anyone know of any fixes Thanks in advance
